I was chatting with Simon this morning and one of the passages we talked about was Luke 10:17-20 were the 72 disciples come back to Jesus all pumped up and excited cause they were even casting out demons.
They'd just had a blazing ministry campaign with miracles and signs and they were excited - understanbly so!
Yet Jesus responds by saying:
"Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
Is that enough? Is it enough to have our name down?
The question we had to ask was then; is it enough for us, will we be content to go through life without any blaze of glory or amazing wonders and miracles, so long as our name is written in heaven?
Why am I seeking Christ?
For His earthly benefits or for His Kingdom?
